The Mountaire Feed-A-Family Food Drive held Dec. 8 collected more than 10,000 canned and boxed items.

The food drive, which began at 10:30 a.m. and ran through late afternoon, took place at five area super markets and included dozens of volunteers from local American Legion Posts, Lions Clubs, and other civic organizations. These completed boxes, which will also contain a can of gravy, plus a fresh Mountaire roaster, will go to area food pantries and shelters across Delmarva to assist thousands of less fortunate individuals this holiday season.
